The UK has the second largest design industry in the world and is the largest in Europe. London has seen design-led businesses more than double since 2010.
Of the 25,000+ visitors to Design London (100% Design) in 2019, 80% were architects or designers with over 50% interested in lighting specification.
Of the 217 lighting design practices in the UK, over half (116) are located in the Greater London area (source ILDS 2021). This is by far the biggest concentration of lighting designers in one city in the world.
Situated alongside [d]arc room and Design London, Greenwich Peninsula will welcome London’s first purpose-built Design District – a collection of sixteen buildings designed by eight architects that will house 1,800 creatives. A new type of London is being developed specifically for the creative community. A mixture of architectural voices, open house workshops and design lovers will create an undeniable buzz of activity during London Design Festival aligning with [d]arc room and Design London’s celebration of the capital’s thriving design scene.
